Furriers

345 links at August 20 2000

ABC Fourrures (= Select Furs). Front door site in Paris Yellow Pages. New entry March 23 2000 (September 6 1999).
Pelz Adrian, Germany, Cologne. Solid site with some nice material, but I would have like a beter look on it (bigger pictures) - more furrier should include a good picture of their shop (window). Also an online shop for small items and accessories. New entry August 23 (July 18) 2001. (STA)
AK Fur Oy. A furrier in Finland. Various pictures. Updated before May 5 1999, new address May 12 1999.
Aklavik - Tuktoyaktuk Furs. A Canadian furrier who sell furs from the North Western Territories. Some less than exciting pictures from their products, but a nice frosty mood in the design. New entry October 13 1999 (May 21 1998).
Alaska Fur Gallery. Fur manufacturer, sells to the public. Nice pictures but some look familiar. New February 14 1999. Updated May 3 1999. "Temporarily down for maintenance" as of December 19 2000.
Alaskan Fur, USA, Overland Park (Kansas). Formerly Alaskan Fur Exchange. Attractive pictures. Also price quotes, men's furs, and a text-based index in case your browser isn't fully compatible. New May 29 1999, update posted January 23 2002 (November 15 2001). Site facilities downsized a bit, but looks still okay.
Albert Furs. Look here: fast site, and stylish, modern design - actually screen-orientated, I like that. Some use of technological gadgets (Flash), but for me it works. New May 4 1998, updated July 26, 1999.
Albrecht Furs. One page front door site with one rather cute picture. New March 18 2000 (December 7 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Alex, Upper Montclair, NJ USA. All Flash site, with music - bad music. The pictures of the Flash intro look much better than the pictures of the stock, but that's probably because coats are supposed to be worn by women, not by coathangers. At least you get a fairly complete - if less than exiting - idea of the collection. New entry November 15 1999, updated January 23 2002 (September 8 2001)
Alexiou-Mastoreka, Kastoria, Greece. I'm not sure what this company does, but it looks great. The nicest pictures are outside the gallery, so browse around over the site. New entry May 29 (April 25) 2001 (Elli)
Alixandre Furs. A number of smallish pictures of their coats , with info that's to the point - the type of fur, model. Alixandre does the design for the Oscar de la Renta furs. New entry October 26 1998. Update posted January 23 2002 (December 7 2001).
All Siberia. A shop for Siberian products, one of these fur. Their catalogue has it all: wonderful pictures, a good description of the fur and prices. New entry August 3 1998, updated March 27 1999. 'Under reorganisation' (January 23 2002).
A.M. Linea. Made in Italy. Where are the times that you could rely on the Italians to come up with something stunning in the online fur scene? This is another site losing its Wow!-factor by the "Thou Shalt Have Small Pictures" rule of the so-called web experts. Ever heard of thumbnails, anyone? Many small pictures of probably outstanding furs. What a waste. Update posted January 23 (17) 2002.
Anastasia Furs, USA, Winston-Salem. Front door site, one nice picture. New entry March 18 2000. (Elli SSFF)
André Furs. A typical one-picture front door page in a address directory, but what a wonderful Golden Island fox ... New entry September 7 (November 24 1997; this one probably went unnoticed for so long because there is just an address on the page, and the word `fur' isn't mentioned.) 1999.
Andriana. One of the very first generation of online furriers. Somebody must like us up there and must have heard our prayers: as a part of a thorough site make-over and awaiting the promised new collection, Andriana did a rescan of some of their old material (including that lovely group portrait, yes that one, now without the retouching). Also male furs. There are some dead links and some pictures you already know from previous editions, but on the whole this is a must-see collection. Update posted January 23 2002 (November 3 2001).
Ankara Kürkevi & Deri, Turkey, Ankara. As the fur goes, a gallery of pictures, some of which look suspiciously familiar. If they're their own scans, I'd love to help them, for the pictures and the furs deserve better. If you're not above some fake fur, click on 'Pluche'. New March 18 2000 (May 5 1999). (Elli SSFF), update posted January 23 2002 (June 13 2001).
Annabella. Flash is the latest thing everywhere, but it has more sites ruined than improved. Annabella is, unfortunately, no exception. Some things look good (while they could have been achieved by other, less techy means), but the sliders are awkward and the pictures get small and unprofessionally blurry. This does the furs no credit. Fortunately, there are html versions of this site, and the abundant Simonetta Ravizza runway pictures, bless her soul, all in quick, crisp HTML, and above all, in focus. Don't miss the second page, the link is in small letters. Update posted January 23 2002 (November 19 2001) (smept SSFF)
Annamode, Italy, San Remo. The best way to show what you sell, is to shop your shop, Annamode must have thought, and that's what they do: in a 360 degree vision plug-in as well as with a great number of pictures. The (Shop) 'Windows' page - with a close up look of the coats probably - doesn't function though. New entry January 26 2002 (December 19 2001).
Anpel. Small pictures, cut-up and put inside a table, so use Ctrl-PrintScrn and paste them into a graphics viewer if you want to save them for later. New entry January 31 (21) 2000 (Elli), update posted November 17 (16).
Antonovich Furs. USA, New York. Under construction, some nice pictures but lots of loose ends and no work done here for months. A non-starter? New entry March 21 (February 29) 2000. (Elli SSFF)
Arletty Furs, aka Arletty Fur Designs, USA, New York. A dozen of pictures of the collection on coat hooks, but at least this is not a `Design Your Own Website in 5 Easy Minutes' page, and the same goes for Arlette Smolarski's very own fur designs. Now, if she could found some proper models ... New entry September 16 (August 5) 1999.
Astrakhan Furs, USA/Kazakstan. A single page site with a number of pictures - not just astrakhan but also some short-haired furs. New entry January 21 2002 (December 11 2001).
Atlantic Fur, Canada, Ontario. Apart from the usual thinks like sale, storage and restyling, they also take care of fur machines. Here's at last a modern looking site where the content isn't smothered by technical wizardry. Attractive gallery, mostly knitted furs. New entry February 1 (January 8) 2002. (smept)

Bacci Furs. Bi-lingual (Italian and English) fur site. Some new pictures. New entry April 21 1998.
Batinelli, Italy, Montefiascone (VT). Site in a lively design, beautiful pictures of luxurious furs. New entry August 20 (April 28) 2000 (Smept), update posted February 1 2002 (September 12 2000). Not sure if there was anything substantial updated at the time, but the gallery is very nice if you manage to find it.
BDC Furs. A fur business solely run by women. I like the design and the drawings. Sells furs in consignment; click `View' to see their interesting classified section - pictures, prices and a clear description, who could ask for anything more? Also you can donate your fur to have the money to go to the charity of your choice (with the usual tax deduction for Americans). Nice idea. Description updated September 5 1998. 2&R
Belka, Russia. History section with a nice selection of ancient photographs. As often happens, the English/foreign language section lags behind the native language side. New entry March 18 2000. (Lynx SSFF), update posted February 1 2002 (February 21 2001). Gallery pictures missing.
Pelz und Ledermoden Berber. Two shop pictures. New entry March 20 2000 (May 17 1999). (Elli / Lynx SSFF)
BestFurs. No prices, but pictures - special mention here for their collection of cat lynxes, who share a separate page with a nice silver fox jacket. New entry February 18 2000 (Chris SSFF), update posted February 1 2002 (August 11 2001). I'm not sure if much has changed.
Birger Christensen Furs, Denmark. Nice design and a handful of very pretty pictures. Update posted February 1 2002 (June 7 2001).
Bizakis Furs, USA, Tustin. A fur site from California. Coat stand pictures of the stock, with prices. You can even Email your friend about it ... New entry July 15 1999, update posted February 1 2002.
Bod & Christensen, Canada, Edmonton. Gallery of leather and nice furs, modelled on mannequins (not that I mind). Plain but adequate design. New entry March 20 2000 (November 23 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Bodies Furs. A Thes Tziveli outlet. Lots of lynx in a kind of fairground shooting animation, which links to crisp but very small pictures. Also some older and larger pictures as a thumbnail gallery (so more convenient) on Modaitalia. Update posted February 1 2002 (May 29 2001).
Centre Mode Robert Boivin, Canada, Pintendre (Quebec). Inspite of the name, this one could count as a furrier, but see for yourself. A small gallery of brown furs. New entry August 14 (February 17) 2000. (Lynx SSFF / Chris SSFF), update posted February 1 2002 (February 8 2001).
Bolon-Krystian Furs, USA, Wheeling (Ill.). A small gallery of attractive pictures of the stock. Due to mistakes in the 'mouseover' JAVA some of the pictures get squeezed but the site is much improved by this update. New entry October 12 (6) 2000. (Jacco), update posted February 1 (January 24) 2002.

Bond Furs. I like their clean and clear website design, but the Bond fur collection remains a well-kept secret, but for one (Lishman-like) coat. New entry February 29 (January 15) 2000 (Lynx).

Boutique dell'Arte, Italy. Glamorous pictures of modern and glamorous furs, 39 of them. Wonderful. While it's still online, also go to the old site, if you've never been there (go for `Fourrures' and then `Continuer'). New entry April 19, 1998, update posted February 1 2002. (Not totally sure if they updated, there is no update date mentioned, but have a look - MK.)

Braschi, San Giovanni in Marigno (Rimini), Italy. A large collection of minks, and a touch of lynx. New entry May 29 (January 31) 2001. (Hack_Jack)

Pellicceria Bruna. Italia, Belvedere di Villaga (VI). A small site with some pictures. New entry March 20 2000 (November 13 1999). (Lynx SSFF)

Buhl-Frye. A fur farm which sells to the public via the WWW, or a furrier with its own (mink) fur farm. New entry February 29 2000. (Lynx), update posted February 1 2002 (October 20 2000).

Ido Caldano Furs. A site by a fur shop in Buenos Aires, and a few nice pictures here. Spanish only. New entry 29 January 1999.
Campobasso, Bari (Italy). Small site, slowish, but it does the job. New entry May 29 2001 (June 15 2000). (STA)
Pellicce Canali, Italy, Milan. Very simple front door page. One picture. New entry August 21 2001 (March 18 1999).

Carol Ann's House, Canada. Under construction. New entry March 18 2000. (Lynx SSFF)

Carolyn Furs. Anything from accessories and stuffed animals to coats. More coats coming, they say. New January 26 2000 (Elli), update posted September 11 (January 15) 2001.

Casa Ardoino. Great furs on small pictures, he said sadly. If you want to buy a dress in swakara or a breathtaking cape of Mongolian lamb, this is the place. New entry May 29 2001 (October 11 2000). (Hack_Jack)

M. Castoria Leather and Furs. Nice pictures here; note: some of the reverse links point in fact to other 'front' pictures, which is not really a bad thing. Design is not very pretty, but at least it's efficient. Separate pages for long-haired and men's furs. New 5 September 1998, update posted February 10 2002, winter 2001 collection (well, it was certainly posted earlier, but this is one of these sites that don't mention an update date and don't time stamp their pages).

CasualFurs.com. Previously Gavrel Furs. Some interesting categories here: furs & denim, pre-owned furs. No-nonsense design with a clear, attractive view of some of the stock. The link to the next pages is rather small, so don't miss it. New entry January 26 (10) 2000. (rrooke), update posted February 10 2002 (September 6 2001). Some (fur-trimmed) cashmere. 2&R

Cattaneo Giorgio Mauro. (Moving his site here from Lambrate). A number of wonderful pictures spread over the site but not all very easy or obvious to find (e.g. check out 'News'), and quite a lot of mink pictures (as brown minks go; click on the picture to get to their `click next' type gallery). New April 28 1998. Update May 5 1999 (October 12 1998).

Chaarm leathers, USA, New York. Forget about the name ('leathers'), there are some lovely furs here. A minor niggle: at several thumbnails the link to the picture is missing - someone has been struggling with them terribly (judging by a URL like http://www.chaarmleather.com/images/images/1.jpg_mainviewer.jpg). New entry February 10 2002. (HackJack)

Chagnon Buckskin & Fur Co. Custom fur items, and two digital pictures of Miss Wisconsin in fur. New November 9 (October 20) 1999 (Elli).

Chilkat Valley Farms Fur Shop. A site that looks in some respects as if it's still in its early days, but unfortunately it isn't (see creation date). Originally nice pictures but badly handled: they just not look bad this way, they might be taking more bandwidth than necessary as well. I hope they'll get it right some time. New entry January 27 2000 (January 16 1999) (NL Fur Fetish Site), update posted February 10 2002 (November 7 2000), not so much new.

Cioni, Italy Florence/Siena. Makes custom made furs, in a fortnight if need be. A number of nice pictures with fresh designs. (Update posted December 7 (April 12) 2000.

Cioni's (1), Italy, Genua. Not the be confused with Cioni (see above); although it sells pelle e pelliccia it seems to be mainly pelle, so 'leather'. New entry February 10 2002 (September 11 2001).

Cioni's (2). Another Cioni's site, alas currently showing the summer (= leather) collection, and on coat hooks. I'm not sure what Cioni's wants with this site - obviously it's updated but it's not on their own domain, and it looks like a low budget version of (1); the decently sized window picture is a nice idea though - more furriers should do that, especially the ones who are currently (mis)taking their customers for stamp collectors. If you're proud of your business, show it! New entry February 29 (25) 2000.

Classic Furs Inc., USA Brooklyn. It took some time to get it right, but now the Classic Furs site is true to its name. It's just one page and they let the pictures do the talking, but the pictures talk well. Truly `classic' fur shots. New entry September 9 1999 (September 18 1997), update posted November 30 (September 21) 2000.

Collections Corner. Online Canadian second hand fur trade, good clear pictures (lots of them) of coats, and now they have people in them, if that's what you're after. (And after all, furs meant to be worn by people, not by coathooks.) Sells also through Ebay and Amazon. New entry March 31 1999, updated February 10 (6) 2002. 2&R

Connecticut Furs. Get connected to the Connecticut cut. 'Luxury never goes out of style, nor elegance ...' Says it all, really. Beautiful coats, beautiful pictures. New entry February 4 2000 (November 14 1999), (Chris / SSFF), update posted November 17 (October 18) 2000.

Cool Furs, Germany. Sell online and through retail. Small site. My favourite is the pink Tibetan Lamb jacket, obviously, but at 1700 DM and me not being a gay person I'm still thinking about it ... New entry May 29 (February 28) 2001. (furmichel)

Corniche Furs, New York, USA. Designed by `Far Out Designs' and well ... why not, neo-70s has been all the rage for some time now. Not really my cup of tea, but at least it's easy to find your way around. According to the site Bob Mackie has been involved in the design of their collection. The site is much improved since the first edition and some nice pictures too. New entry September 15 1999, update posted February 10 2002 (January 1 2001).

CP Furs. I suspect these people don't do retail, but I'm not sure. A small gallery of nice minks here. New entry January 26 2002 (July 4 2001).

Cuirs et Fourrures du Front de Seine. A French online furrier. Basically, it looks okay, and it's a great improvement on the first edition, and the furs are okay too, but would anyone order for a fur going by a picture that's smaller than my little finger? Also, there's no need for a popup picture if it's hardly larger and little more informative than the original thumbnail. Nice try though, I hope they get it right in the end. New December 17 1999 (FK), update posted February 10 2002.

Daedong Furs, Southern Korea. Slow site, mixed Korean-English (sort of). This site could have been so much better! Clicking on the image map (!) leads to pages with a Windows streaming media movie or `3D'-picture, and a (beautiful) picture. I liked the movies I saw (the brown and yellow mink), although it just comes out as a series of stills accompanied by music, if at all, when the server is in a bad mood.
Hint for online furriers: don't use the protected streaming media format, but use a downloadable format with a company logo/URL in the corner, that people can spread around - after all, what do you want, getting attention for your company or selling movie and music copyrights? New October 12 (August 19) 2000. (Elli SSFF), description updated November 15 2000. (Bob, DP)
Pellicceria Daniela, Italy, Merate (LC). A small site by a not-so-large fur shop, with a few pictures, but unexplainably likeable. New entry January 26 2002 (March 7 2001).
Danziger Pelze, Germany, Regensburg/Berlin. Fresh looking design on the webpage and a small but attractive view of the collection. New entry August 26 2001 (June 13 2000). (Jaco)
Dayfurs, USA, Carmel. A full online catalogue, in most cases with prices, with clear and attractive pictures, all over the site - to make sure you get to see all of it. Also designer and men's furs. Gloat and be merry. New entry October 12 (2) 2000. (Elli / SSFF)
Dellera Furs, Italy. A well designed Italian site, in English and Italian. A handful of very nice pictures in their `virtual fashion show'. New June 11 1998. Update August 31, 1998, Winter '99-00 collection; there are some extra pictures hidden under 'Dellera Promotion'.
Denys Tailleur. Samples of their work, mostly rasé but nice creative work anyway. New entry August 8 1998, description updated May 5 1999.
Derma. A Turkish site in an online directory. Mainly trims and leather. New entry January 26 2000 (February 1999) (Elli), under construction November 30 (27) 2000.
D'errico Pellicceria, Nola (NA), Italy. A front door page with three pictures. New entry September 9 1999. A former Lynx link.
Les Deux Oursons. Fur rental and sale of recycled furs in Paris. Some pictures. Price quotes for rental, but not for their selling stock, unfortunately. New entry December 17 1999 (FK), update posted January 29 2001, adequate site make over, one or two new pictures.
Diane Furs. It just goes to show that a nice 'personal', even family-like, feel on a site can come with a site design that has few loose ends; and of course it helps if all your female staff can double as model for the furs... New entry February 10 2002 (July 11 2001). (smept)
Dittrich Furs, Detroit USA. Still partly under construction, but the info is useful and the backgrounds are nice. (Don't try this at home though if you don't know what you're doing. There are enough slow sites as it is.) New entry June 3 1999.
Domus Pellicceria, Italy. Domus has invested in a Flash demonstration, and as ever with Flash, Murphy's law applies. Small pictures, neurotic music samples and you spend much of your time staring at a creeping progress bar. Too slow, too little. New November 17 (August 30) 2000. (smept), update posted February 10 2002 (July 11 2001) (Del Boy)
Donatelli, Italy, Avezzano (Aq). A site in a shopping directory. Nice coats shown on faceless mannequins. New entry March 18 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
DS Pelz Design. A German site (click on 'unsere mode', and 'weiter' if you see it, or miss a few of their pictures) with the coats shown on what a mannequin loving friend of mine calls 'headless things in shopping windows'. New entry March 27 1999.
Dublenki. A Russian Site, with a large number of pictures of varying interest. (Look for something that looks like 'KATALOG'). At times it can be very slow. New December 17 1999. (Elli.)

Eagle Rock Fur & Leather. USA (?). Just about everything you can make from fur, it seems. A small, simple site, but not bad at all for a start. New entry March 21 (7) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Eberle. Germany, Kohlberg. Before you start driving, notice that there are two Kohlbergs in Germany. Blankets: enticing pictures, prices next to them - what else do you need to buy? Less `Leider zu Zeit kein Bild', I guess. Buy the Australian fox and you might be contribution your fair share to the environment - foxes don't belong in Australia. New entry June 27 (January 4) 2000. (Chris SSFF)
Efurs4less. An online furrier with a large online collection, also used. Really a site that makes you reach for your wallet. New entry February 10 2002 (November 9 2001) (Softouch71)
Egy Pellice, Italy, Abbiategrasso (MI). The `Sfilate' are were the nicest furs are. Wonderful pictures, and it seems they're not even finished yet. New entry January 18 2001 (December 1 2000) (SMEPT)
Eidnes Furs. Still under construction. New entry November 11 (February 19) 1999.
Eksa, Lithuania. A bi-lingual site, that means Russian and Lithuanian. Oh well, that's where their shops are. Few, smallish pictures of the collection, but some are surprisingly suggestive. New entry September 11 (August 2) 2001. (Elli)
Elán Furs. Two animated gifs, front door page. New November 11 1997, update posted February 1 2002 (November 1 2000). (Furboy)
Pellicceria Elite 2000, Italia, Focette (LU). New entry March 20 (January 8) 2000. (Lynx SSFF), under construction December 3 (October 12) 2000.
Elisa Sori, Italy, Monsano. It's Italian, it's bi-lingual, but not much excitement here. Small, mostly black and white pictures so apart from the blurb you get hardly an idea of the collection. New entry August 23 2001 (May 22 2000).
Pelzhaus Enssle (address "http://www.gaisburg.de/", Germany Stuttgart. Attractive pictures, but I suspect come from other sites, and the one saved as GIFs clearly show why it is better the use the JPG-format for webfoto's. New entry August 24 2001.
Erba Voglio, Italy. No breathtaking design here, but there is very good view on their large collection, with clear and attractive pictures - with thick collars, trims and hoods by the bucketload. Don't skip the fabric/tessuti and rabbit/lapin sections. New May 7 1998, update posted August 21 (March 28) 2001. (Bluefox)
Ericsson Fur Trade, Iceland, Reykjavik. A single page site, with some nice pictures of one of their mink coats. Online ordering. March 30 (February 21) 2000.
Francesco Errichiello, Nola (NA), Italy. Spot the furs ... I'm not sure if this is a furrier, but no prices for how many furs there are on the overview picture on top of the page. New entry September 9 1999. (Lynx)
Laura Esigibili, Italy, Roma. Three ugly pictures on a page in an online directory. November 30 (February 24) 2000.
Etherion Furs, Castoria, Greece. Front door site, one picture. New entry November 15 (10) 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Evans Furs. Previously known as E-furs, but contrary to what the 'E-' suggests the possibility to order online are rather limited. Some very nice pictures of their wares - I seriously thought about the white lamb coat. Sorry, I don't have a phone bank card ... New entry August 24 (May 12) 1999.

Facimp. Furrier in Florence, Italy. Site is almost pictures-only, most furs are coats with fur collars, cuffs, etcetera. Updated March 4 1999.
Fago, Italy, Pienza. Tuscan Furrier which sells through a number of other outlets too. Small site, but adequate design and a few nice pictures of the collection. New entry August 20 2001 (September 28 2000).
Fahrnbach's International House of Fur. 'Fur Galore': in stock possibly, but not on their page. No pictures, GET YOUR ELBOW OFF THE SHIFT KEY, no real life address and they can't get their own name right. Not to mention the page counter. New entry October 13 1999 (June 8 1997).
Fashion Furs. Under construction, but watch the lovely the picture - it's much larger than it looks on the page. New entry January 22 2002 (March 14 2001). (smept SSFF)
Pellicceria Ferdissima. Italy, Milan. Front door page, but if you want to start small, start with style, and that's what they do. Although the name rings a bell ... New entry March 20 2000 (December 16 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
FIBOK PELLICCE, Arezzo, Italy. A few pictures, shearling and trims under Autunno (autumn) and fur under Inverno (winter). Update July 30 1996.
FineFurs.com. The Boulevard of Broken Links, so not very confidence-inspiring; the links work. New entry January 31 2000 (November 27 1999 or earlier).
Fine Furs Exclusively Inc., USA, Columbus Ohio. Frontdoor page, one seemingly little picture. (It's large and stunning, in fact!). New entry January 22 2002 (November 23 2001).(smept SSFF)
Fischelis, Paris. A concise but attractive site by a French furrier. Small, stylish pictures of fur models in the streets of Paris. New entry February 18 (4) 2000. (Lynx SSFF), update posted January 22 2002 (February 9 2001).
Flaire. An Argentinian furrier's site, so far Spanish only. A lot of pictures, but mainly interesting if you're into low-profile brown nutria and beaver. New entry January 26 2000 (April 22 1999) (Elli).
Flemington Furs (Flemington, NJ, USA) has one of the bigger fur retail sites (as big as their showrooms look) on the web, and an small page on Fur Online. Now with an amusing section about fur astrology (which is completely off the mark for me) and a page for the separate Flemington second hand fur store (Fur Exchange 2&R). Update posted January 15 (13) 2000.
Pat Flesher Furs, Ottawa, Canada. Transformations, storage and repair, and delightfully wacky fur ads. Have a look. New entry September 15 (August 23) 1999.
Florence Mode, Italy, Florence. A large and impressive view on the collection, but this site leaves me with mixed feeling: only determined browers will be patient enough to wait until the Flash animation has finished uploading - so the 'flash' could be seriously counterproductive, and I haven't even touched on compatibility issues here. When the animation has finished loading, everything goes like a snap though. New August 20 (April 29) 2000. (Smept), update posted January 23 2002 (July 24 2001) 'Not as good as the previous update', STA says.
Florentia, Porto S. Elpidio (AP), Italy. Nice coats, nice design. And much larger than you might think at first: also click on the links on the right, they'll lead to other coats than those you see, and then there's all the fur and even some feather on the Shearling, Pelle and Tessuto pages. Don't miss them. Also, I liked the camera roaming through the shop on the `Chi Siamo' page. New entry October 26 (September 18) 1998 (Lynx), updated September 11 (July 31) 2001. (MyFurLady)
Foggensteiner, Vienna (6. Bezirk). Even the Mariahilfer Strasse has its furrier, or even two ... a front door site, one slow picture. New entry November 15 (August 30) 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Four Seasons Fur Co., Toronto. A page in an online shop directory, one picture. New entry February 18 (January 28) 2000.
Fourlions, New York, USA. Furs and shearlings, and a good view of their collection. New entry November 15 1999 (Elli), update November 15 (October 5) 2000. Look for 'Classic' and 'Furs'.
Fur & Luxury Center (a.k.a. 'Fur Center'). The site that seems to be a central storage for many (not so) different online fur business. They seem more concerned with keeping you from a good look at a decently large picture than with actually selling furs, and they can't convince me that online buying of new furs is a good idea. The pictures and the furs are wonderful, but as I said, you can't really get a good look at them, unless you want to do a lot of cutting, pasting and stitching. New entry, update posted January 22 2002 (October 18 2001 and January 6 2002). (Elli; was notified on SSFF but has been updated since).
Fur Outlet. Also sells through E-bay. Models wanted ... ! Escrow service, coats, jackets ... The design look rather high tech, but there has gone much care and attention into it. The catalogue counts 200 items, also men's furs. New August 24 1999, update posted April 6 2001. The size of Fur Outlet is getting impressive; also there are some modelled pictures now. 2&R
The Furplace (aka ManosFurPlace), USA, Baltimore. Nice techie design - this looks really looks like an efur business, not like a fur shop that has a website on the side. Time will tell. The pictures are nice but suffer from a degree of over-compression. The search engine just seems to give an 'All sold out', whatever you do, and there are some internal dead links, which doesn't look very confidence inspiring. Teething problems? Still, have a look here, for this might be the look of things to come as regards to e-fur business. New November 15 2000. (SMEPT)
Fourrures du Vieux Port, Quebec. An all-animated site. I don't particularly fancy animations on fur sites, but this is done well, with no discernible loose ends. New entry April 7 2001 (November 7 2000). (HackJack)
The Fur Trader, USA. Buy and sell used furs. Updated September 9 (April 21) 1999 (shots of stock), update posted November 30 (2) 2000. 2&R
Furland Russian Fur. Long pages with unintelligible Cyrillic text but this is where you want to be: http://www.russianfur.com/rus/models/fsgallery.html. Cute. And when you're there, don't forget to click on the little red numbers to the left. No pictures on the English part of the site. New entry March 21 (February 1) 2000. (Elli SSFF)
Furs by Graf, San Diego, USA. A few pictures of the Furs by Graf people and their collection. New entry October 13 1999, update posted October 27 (August 17) 2000.
FURSHOP.IT, Italy, Mestre. Site which mainly consists of the catalogues of the firm. If not the `most beautiful furs in the world', but really worth a look. Don't forget to click on the pictures of the main gallery, there is a larger version of them. New entry August 23 2001 (December 4 2000). (Elli)
Furshopping. This should get you a good idea what online fur buying should look like: great collection, adequate information, clear, attractive & sufficiently large pictures; some nice ideas, like the 'related' items. And the technology works. I'm impressed. New entry December 2 2000 (Chris)
FursPlus. USA, New York. Still under construction, but there is very tempting picture of a large lynx blanket. New entry March 21 (5) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Egon von Fürstenberg has an additional address now. A fashion shop with a 'pellicceria' section. A few pictures there. New entry June 15 1998.
Furwear. Several galleries with pictures of most of the available items, with prices and the possibility to order online. Not all pictures are clickable. New entry February 18 2000 (November 17 1999) (Marcel Loves Fur/NTC), update posted August 23 (13). (Chris)

G arbin Pellicceria. Italia, Padova. Small site with a runway page (small pictures) and a coathanger view of the collection. New entry March 21 (February 29) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Gardenia, Italy, Bovolenta/Piove di Sacco. A small but pleasant gallery of the Gardenia coats, with prices and - very thoughtful - a size converter - added. New entry March 20 2000 (October 28 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Gartenhaus Furs, USA, Bethesda (Maryland). A single page on a business directory site. If you, for some reason, can only post a few pictures on your page, do it like this: clear, bright and not too small pictures. No plans to go to Maryland, but I'll drop in if I do. New entry November 30 (September 29) 2000. (Elli)
Georgia's Furs and Leathers. A site that does the trick, with a large, practical catalogue with beautiful coats and pictures. New entry March 31 1999, updated September 9 (August 21) 1999, although I don't know what could be new.
Gerko fourrures. France, Paris. This site resides (that's the word) in a directory listing, but it should have its own namespace, preferably in golden letters and on Ferrara marble. It must be that kind of place. If Gerko is up-market, the message has come across. Anyhow, Mme Gerko looks a million in her furs, and so do her furs on her. Fair enough ... New entry March 11 (Lynx SSFF), update posted November 30 (May 22) 2000. Gerko updated shortly after it was included on this site, but I think it was more a revamp of the site than a change of content.
R. Germann. Germany, Köthen. Small site, some pictures. Design looks good. New entry March 21 2000 (October 8 1999). (Elli / Lynx SSFF)
Giancarlo. Italy, Marsala. A front door page in an online directory. One nice picture. New March 20 2000 (December 15 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Gioannini. Italy, San Giusto Canavese (TO). Two small pictures of the fur department of the shop. For a site with its own domain name, you'd expect some more content. New entry March 21 (January 31) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Pelze Glock, Germany, Augsburg. Keep everything simple, and everything works - and that's what the Glock site does. Not many pics, but very attractive. New entry August 26 2001 (October 11 2000). (Jaco)
Gorgeous Furs(, USA?). Lots of coat-only pictures of new and used, some of rare furs, and furs for men, but no prices mentioned. Very irritating banner ads of their host. New entry February 1 2002.
Goudet Fourrures, Firminy, Dpt. Loire, France. A one page site, two pictures; a bit more flesh on the bones would be welcome. New entry September 16 (April 22) 1999.
Greekfurs. In spite of the logo says, the site is only in Russian so far, but don't let that bother you. No doubt you've read about furriers with hundreds of coats in stock. Well, this is one, and they can actually prove it because this is hundreds of fur coats to gape at, not on coat hooks, but on models. Marvelous effort. New entry March 23 (February 12) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
David Green (1), Anchorage, USA. Front door site of an Alaskan furrier. Some nice pictures. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC), update posted November 30 (7) 2000. (Elli)
David Green (2), Anchorage, USA. I have a great fondness for the brave fur wearing citizens of Alaska, and I'd like to encourage any furrier to venture into web design, but this site just would have looked better if less attention would have gone into Java and more into the looks of it. The 'No right-clicking allowed' - barrier is totally pointless, and ineffective too. Nor do I do know if webtv and palmtop people are very happy about the Java; there is no provision for these and legacy technologies. New entry February 29 2000 (July 1 1999).
Fourrures Grenier, Quebec. Small site, with the history of the firm, and its services. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Guarducci, Italy, Prato. If you get past the opening animation - much too slow - there's a small sfilata, and a page Trend, both with various kinds of furs. New entry January 26 2002 (October 20 2001).
Gunia Furs. One of the first generation of fur sites. No coats pictures here, but one of the few that sells fur bedspreads, mittens and other 'other' items, and useful information about its Gunia's own stock. A lot of sites could do worse than have a look at this one. Updated December 1 1998.

Haeker Furs, USA, Alma (Nebraska). Two pictures. New entry April 19 1998, update posted October 27 (September 19) 2000.
Hanna and Demetrious Furriers. A number of well done pictures. Nice design but they shouldn't pretend Fur Age is their work ... Updated May 5 1999.
Harmanli Furs, Turkey, Istanbul. A very smooth page, with collection of nice pictures. Look under `Harmanli Furs and Leathers', not 'Duo'. New entry November 30 (October 13) 2000. (zaza)
Harris Furs. "Yawn. The software company must have made a fortune..." - Thanks Chris. New entry August 23 2001. (Chris)
Pelz Helas. Small, simple site with a few pictures and the bare neccessities. Update posted August 26 (April 25) 2001. (Jaco)
Couture Helène. A Belgian clothing shop, sells both fake and real fur. New November 8 1998.
Hellenic Furs, Athens, Greece. A front door site with a few pictures. New entry November 9 (Januari 6) 1999.
Henig Furs, Alabama, USA. Way, way back, in the gray mists at the dawn of Internet, I seem to remember a Henig Furs site. Anyway they're here (again). If the site was so big as the company building, it could be real fun, but although it isn't, so far it's not bad at all. The furs are stylish on the conservative side, so no wild outbursts of lynx or dyed fox. (Well, that's Alabama for you, I guess.) New entry May 29 2001 (December 7 2000). (SMEPT)
Hercules Fourrures. A bilingual (E/F) site by a Canadian furrier (Montréal). A few nice pictures here. New July 23 1998.
Herczeg, Berlin. A German (front door) site, still under construction and not much to see yet. New entry March 27 1999.
Herman-Sellers-Gough-Furs, Toronto, Canada. A site in a web directory; some small pictures. New entry October 13 (September 8) 1999.
Carl Herrmann Furs, USA Pittsburgh. I couldn't put it better than my correspondent Chris: "Same, same, but different. If i could just remember where i have seen that layout before...." New entry August 23 2001. (Chris)
Hicks Furs, Hamilton, Ontario. Lovely furs, recycling of old furs, storage and no less than ten reasons why should wear furs, various fur items and also a number of nice pictures. A millennium update posted January 4 (1) 2000, with some lovely pictures and furs on various pages of the site. Must have been the first fur site to update in the new millennium ...
Hinsdale Furriers, USA, Hinsdale. Pleasant looks, friendly, useful textual content, lovely modern design and now with pictures. New entry March 18 2000 (1999) (Lynx), update posted June 21 (2) 2000 (Susie).
Hoffmann Furs. Furs for women and men. A nice homegrown site, not much design, but it does the trick and the furs look nice. Updated and new address April 17 1999.
Hong Kong Fur Factory. A nice catalogue of modern style furs, really worth a look; look under 'Products' as well. Some of it looks like it's catering for a far eastern taste, but I believe any black or white western woman might make a striking appearance in it as well. New March 22 (January 11) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Hudson Services, USA, Providence. Don't ask me why a cleaning service should sell bridal gowns and have a fur salon, but the pictures and coats are nice, so much so you could forgive them for using the pointless 'no rightclicking' scripts. New entry August 23 2001 (October 31 2000). (Chris)
Pelzhaus Huemmler, Loebau. A German site. Some pictures which may come from elsewhere, so probably not related to their stock. The business itself goes back along time ... New entry March 27 1999.
David Hunt Furs, USA Texas. Under construction and obtrusive, browser-crash inducing JAVA, so there has to be done some work for it will be really 'fabulous' here. One picture on front page. New entry October 12 (September 3) 2000. (Elli)
Hy Fishman Furs. Small pictures but very nice furs, especially Koolgals. Young, but the `Yes this is real fur, so what?' type of furs. Unfortunately, it's precisely this section which is only to see in very small pictures. New entry March 25 1999, update posted January 22 2002 (July 28 2001). (HackJack) Like Hack_Jack I'm not sure if this is an update, but they have been working on their site. Much of my previous critique still holds though.

In the Mink. A New York furrier, with a reltively large pictures on one page. Cute stuff, mainly mink (and fox-trimmed) pictures. New entry February 18 (January 8) 2000 (Lynx SSFF), update November 30 (September 13) 2000
Interco Online. A Greek fur site. Don't go here before you have saved all your other work on your machine, because this site is as safe as the Syntagma Square rush hour. That is, not. Lots of script error messages, and the required plug-in (I didn't use any, I suppose that's were the error messages come from, but hey, shouldn't I have been told there was a plug-in?) does manage to stop a full blown, well-cared for Macintosh dead in its tracks. Which is something of a achievement, I have to admit. The pictures of the showrooms are impressive, but the pictures with modeled coats come from Fur Online (no copyright breach here).
Intereurotrade, Switzerland, Zürich. Firm dealing in real estate, art and furs. Two pictures. New March 18 2000.
Peletería Jorge Issaria, Toledo, Spain. Front door page with one nice picture. New entry May 29 2001 (November 21 1999).
Ivillageshop, USA, Bucks County. Online buying of fur, shearling and sheepskin. New entry August 23 (17) 2001 (Chris)

Jean's. A fashion shop that also sells furs. Under construction and the link to `Furs' doesn't function yet, so all you will find regarding fur is a very small picture.
Jean Philippe Fourrures. Front door site in Paris yellow pages. New entry March 23 2000 September 6 1999).
Jean-Claude Jitrois. French leather shop which does a little bit of fur on the side, although you have to take your time. `Collections' are worth to browse through, although you have to take your time - and don't skip the `Press book'. For the aficionados: Lynx does some of her shopping here. Updated May 5 1999.
Fourrure Jerome, Schiltigheim (Bas-Rhin), France. A small site, clicking on Modeles 1 and 2 will lead you to some Gifs of the collection. New entry September 10 (August 20) 1999.
Jones Fur, USA, Greensboro. Different name, but yes, it's that same online sales engine & stock again ... New entry August 23 2001. (Chris)
Pelze Jouja. Still under construction. New entry March 27 1999.
Juliana. Pictures of the mid-season sale. Collars and trims. New entry November 11 1999 (December 12 1998).

Kadosh leather and fur. A rather flashy site (I mean that litterally), with a handful of immaculate pictures, but mostly fur. New entry March 25 1999, update posted September 11 (May 24) 1999.
Kahnert Furs, Toronto. A three page site with reasonable pictures. Nothing wrong here, immaculate page design, but for an apparently up market collection like theirs you'd expect something a little bit more overwhelming than two small scans from Vogue. New entry February 29 2000 (December 6 1999) (Lynx), update posted December 7 (November 6) 2000.
Kalinka Company, Russia, Kirov, proudly presents ... You can do worse than take pictures of your entire collection modeled by pretty girls. The styles are a little bit out of the mainstream perhaps, but that makes it all the more refreshing. New entry March 20 (January 9) 2000 (Elli SSFF), update posted February 1 (January 18) 2002, to the daya year later than the last. (Hack_Jack)
Karin & Petros Päls. A Swedish site, crisp design but text almost Swedish-only, and small and few pictures. Specialises in mink apparently, but there is some sable and chinchilla too. New entry November 14 1998.
Kauper Pelze + Leder. Sells fur and leather in Scheßlitz, Germany. Less than exciting page with some small pictures of some of their ware and of their shop. New entry January 31 2000 (November 8 1999). (Michael)
Morris Kaye Furs. Small site, with small pictures of an interesting looking collection. New entry June 13 1998. Address changed and updated May 5 1999.
Keegan Furs. A small site with a few wonderful pictures, but known already. New entry September 15 1999 (December 11 1997).
Pelzhaus Kircher. A furrier from Berlin, Germany. A handful of nice pictures in a cleverly designed website. New January 31 2000 (December 15 1999). (Michael)
Kluger Furs. Behind the template front end hides the online stock and shop that we know from other online fur shops. If you don't know it, have a look though. New entry January 20 2001. (FurKing)
Pelz & Leder Maria Knode. One page site, one drawing. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Kiszely Furs. Pleasing to the eye, with some pictures of the shop and of items from the collection modeled by coat hangers. New entry February 29 2000 (October 29 1999). (Lynx)
Knyagna. Moscow furrier's front door page in an online directory, two small pictures of shop. New entry January 4 2000 (before December 11 1999).
Koos & Co, New York. Boutique selling furs and reversible coats. Small site in an online business directory. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC).
A. Koppel & Co, Denmark. A front door site in an online shopping mall. (Lynx / NTC). New entry November 9 1999.
Kotsovos Furs and Apparel. One page about furs, but the pictures are much smaller+ than the furs deserve.
Kriegsman's Welcome Page. Fur care and cleaning. Their catalogue is here: http://www.shopclue.com/catalog/kriegsman. Update posted December 3 (October 16) 2000.

L.I. Furs, USA, Westbury. Well-designed pages. To get an idea of the rather restrained collection (apart from the chinchilla nothing very loud of conspicuous) you should browse various pages of the site. Click on 'Shopping' though, and you'll end up in that standard-design engine and stock that a number of online fur store seem to share. New entry August 21 2001 (October 9, 2000).

Lady Western Fur Recycling. A modest website with a few unspectacular pictures. These people offer the service to turn your old-fashioned `bulky long haired coat' into a shearling. Shiver. A lot of furriers do `recycling' on the side, but this one is a specialist. Also on this address. (Previously also listed as `Home off' on the MSS.)

Bernard Lafond Fourrures. New and used furs, French language site, in Montréal Canada. If you actually want to see some of their furs, don't bother to go here. 2&R

Lafrance Furs & Fashions. Canada, Sudbury (Ontario). One page site with pictures. New entry December 7 (May 5) 2000.

Jean Laurant. In spite of the name a Chinese site, with a dozen of pictules. What can you say? New entry May 29 2001. (MyFurLady)

Lazare Furs. A well-designed site, and if you desperately want to use Flash, Java or some other high tech stuff, you might as well do it like this. I mean - it's as good as functional here: the picture resize according to the size of your browser window. (IE users: press <F11> before you make a screendump!) Lovely furs too, lovely pictures, I'm sure nobody would mind to see some more of this. And the Feraud parka is, well, if I may say so, infinitely cute. New May 18 2000. (Lynx)

Lea Furs. On arrival you might be forgiven to think this is a fake fur accessories site, but scroll through the lists carefully and you'll cheer up. Very efficient no-gadget no-nonsense design. New entry February 29 (January 21) 2000 (Lynx).

Leakas Furs, USA. Design identical to Dayfurs, but much smaller collection. Coats look familiar too. New entry November 15 2000. (mgjp)

Wm. Lech & Sons. One page, one picture - nothing more than an online ad.

Leon's Quality Furs, formerly Leon's Furs Hats and Accessories. Still mainly hats and caps though. Also a galleries of celebrities and furs, mostly from other places on the WWW. New entry November 11 1999, (Elli), update posted April 6 2001.

Furs by Leonard, Canada, Toronto. Updated and really worth a look for design and product. Product catalogues also downloadable in Acrobat Reader format. Unfortunately their Feraud Collection is still not there, but have a look at Zuki and Nafa. New entry July 5 1999, update posted June 22 (20) 2000.

Libonati. Best thing here: a preview for the classy 2001 collection. (Click bottom left on each picture to see more.) New June 21 (April 3) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)

Pellicceria Lido. A nice picture page here, adequate design, although the pictures are too small. New September 5 1998. It pays to click at a lot of places: not just pellicceria, but e.g. also `Tessuto'. Updated October 15 1998.

Martin Liska Furs. A big furrier with some jealousy inducing shopwindows in the heart of Vienna. The creations are shown in a kind of Flash(-like) animation, but although I think the very interesting creations of Liska deserve bigger pictures, at least you can now watch them for as lang as you want. New entry September 7 1998, update posted August 24 (December 14 2000).

Von Lüdd, Italy. `Trims only, but beautiful models' (Elli). Says it all, really. New entry April 6 2001 (November 9 2000). (Elli)

Pellicce Lunari, Rome, Italy. A functional site with a handful of enjoyable pictures which give some impression of the style and wares of Lunari. New entry October 20 (June 2) 1999.

LVS. A Moscow furrier front door site in an online directory. Two small pictures of the shop. New entry January 4 2000 (before December 11 1999).

Pellicceria M.G., Italy Rome. I'm not too excited about the design here, but it does the job and I'm sure all visitors will enjoy the pictures of the collection and the fashion defilé. And well, that MIDI of `You never walk alone, I never thought of fur coats when hearing that one but it seems strangely appropriate, so why not. New entry June 21 (May 1) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Madefur's Pellicceria Maria Mattioli, Italy, Modena. A nicely designed welcome page, with four wonderful pictures ... and there it stops basically. New entry September 11 2001 (June 4 1999). (smept)
Magnus Furs of Boston. A site which is nice in itself, but the pictures of the collection come from elsewhere on the WWW, which isn't very confidence inspiring. New April 6 2001. (Elli)
Mallery Furs. Two page site for a fur maintenance shop in Atlanta. A few small pictures.
Manenq. France, Paris. A few small pictures on an elegantly designed site. New entry March 20 (January 20) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Manitoba. Italy, Altamura (BA). A single page in a directory, but some nice pictures of fur and bridal gowns. New entry March 20 2000 (July 20 1999). (Lynx SSFF), updated December 2 (June 16) 2000.
Mar Franc Pelletería. Apparently the fur department of a Catalonian leather and fur chain in Platja d'Aro (in Castilian known as Plaja d'Aro I believe, not one of my favourite places). One picture and not much else, apart from a stamp-sized one here. Moved from the 'Various' section, October 9 1998.
Pellicceria Marcantoni. Front door page on an Italian fur directory. One picture. New entry May 5 1999.
Marester. Italian furs. Mainly cuffs, linings and collars, but not bad. (New January 12, 1998.)
Margaroli. More or less a front door page, one picture. New entry September 26 1998.
Margit Pels, Copenhague, Denmark. A simple but effective site - nothing wrong but the thumbnail-sized pictures. Price quotes. New entry November 9 (June 2) 1999 (Lynx / NTC).
Maryfur. Italy, Vigevano (PV). A two picture front door site. New entry March 21 2000 (October 14 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Alexiou Mastorekas. A chain of fur shops in Greece and Russia. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Matthiessen, Denmark, Sylt. A few very nice pictures on this Danish site. New March 20 (January 5) 2000. (Lynx SSFF), update posted August 23 (April 16) 2001 (STA)
Pellicceria MC, Switzerland, Lugano. A logo, an address and a historical and modern gallery (which is a great idea!) - this is one site which is to the point. New March 20 (January 21) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
McComber. One picture, of a shearling coat. Basically just a simple ad put in HTML.
Clara Meloni, Italy, Fano. A single page with several smallish but nice pictures. New December 2 (April 18 1999).
Mendel Fine Furs. Just an address and a small picture (Yes it's a mannequin, so ...?), so not really what you'd call a `page'.
Mersmann, Germany Münster. A rather plain page, but a few nice pictures. New entry March 2000 (June 21 1999). (Elli / Lynx SSFF)
Mido International, Ukraine, Kiev. Very large firm working with Italian-trained staff, fur garment producer and wholesaler but they have a boutique. Great collection of furs, and large, but quickly loading pictures (yes, it can be done!) that allow you to have a reasonably close look at the goods. Lovely. Don't miss the 'Next' link at the bottom of the page, there are several pages! New entry September 11 (July 24) 2001. (Elli)
Millennium Fur Collection, USA. Collection of American designer furs, from a rather restrained Bob Mackie to Zandra Rhodes. Worth a look. New entry March 18 2000 (Lynx).
Mill Valley, USA, Jackson Hole (Wyoming). Furs, shearling, leather. A large site of nice, practical furs; you could do worse than have a look here. New entry November 17 2000. (zaza)
Mod' Fourrure, France, Grenoble. Slow link (possibly by non-standard use of html), some pictures, lots of French text. Use HTML the way it's supposed to, guys, or you're shooting yourself in the foot. New entry August 14 (April 1) 2000 (Chris SSFF)
Morosini, Italy, Casalpustro (LO). A handful of pictures of their mink- and leather-oriented collection. New entry August 21 (February 27) 2001. (Bluefox)
Mr. Fred Furs. Older, black and white pictures. A site with an enthusiastic and personal feel to it. Updated May 5 1999.
M.T. Beauty. Canada, Toronto. Knit furs. A small site with a few pictures of their collection. New entry January 26 2002 (July 29 2001). (HackJack)
Carlo Mura Rappresentanze, Rome, Italy. An interesting catalogue of their wares on Moditalia online, with some beautiful pictures. New entry September 9 1999 (July 4 1997). A former Lynx link.

Nadel Furs. Canada, Hamilton (Ontario.) For Nadel, a coat is a coat, and it keeps you warm from your chin right down to your shoes. Some floor-length coats that make you long for some serious Winter and a large gallery here. New entry December 12 2000. (L. Glove)

Nancy N. Small page with some basic information about fur.

Naomi Furs, Greece, Kastoria. The Naomi people are probably going to hate me for what I say, but this is one for the Big Book of 2002's Classic Web Mistakes. A contraproductive and ineffective Flash animation, a nerve-wrecking music sample (the volume slider would be a very good idea if it didn't jump back to the default volume at every new page) and videos that might be visible or not, depending on the time of day's net congestion (consider downloadable ones with an added logo and web address, they might actually do something for the site). After all the time and clicking it takes to get at the gallery - if you haven't closed your browser window before that time - you'd probably overlook that the furs could be quite interesting. New entry February 1 (January 30) 2002 (smept)

New York Furs Etc. USA, Clearwater (Florida!). Quality leaves you wanting more quantity. Not that I'd say this site is to small, by the way. Best blue foxes I've seen for some time, at least on a picture. New March 20 (February 28) 2000. (Elli SSFF)

Northern Apparel. Fur from the north, handled by people from the north. The text makes you want to see more than the two pictures that are actually there.

Northern Lights, aka Furshopetc? Basically a nice design, but not the kind you'd expect to display dead links and missing pictures. For what I can see, little content. Slow server? New April 6 2001 (MyFurLady)

Northwest International Furs. One of the oldest, and most venerable, fur sites on the web. Update posted January 15 2000 or earlier, new coats added in very small pictures (if only if they'd rescan those pictures - I would even gladly do it for them ...).

Novotny Furs. Site by a Russian furrier in Ohio. Beautiful pictures of beautiful coats. Other than at some sites I could mention, also some pictures of the shop that are a bit larger than stamp-size. New entry April 25 1998, update posted April 7 2001 (December 20 2000).

Old Orient. A furrier and jeweler shop in Athens, Greece. Front door site, and don't expect many updates here (before it surfaced in the search engine, it hadn't been updated for almost a year). New entry July 15 (January 6) 1999.
Overland Sheepskin Co. Mostly sheepskin, but some nice fur coats too. Update posted February 18 (January 14) 2000.

P & T Furs. Page on Modaonline - their last contribution is the '97 collection, so could do with some updating. New entry August 25 1999.
Giorgios Pappas, New Jersey, USA. A front door site with a few pictures from the Stone Age of GIF-imaging. Fur care. New May 7 1999. Update and new address posted February 8 2000 (October 18 1999).
Pappas Furs, Canada. Another Pappas Furs, and definitely another site. A very classy gallery with no less than three lynxes and some sable too. Design ditto, although you might have some trouble to find the gallery. New February 29 (18) 2000 (Lynx).
Paris Furs, Canada, Edmonton. New address, fresh new design. The invitation to 'have a browse and enjoy' sounds rather like presenting a nearly empty box of cigars, as there are only four or five very small pages. For picture collectors: you have to make a screen dump and save that, or you'll end up with some very odd bits and pieces. New entry March 18 2000 (Lynx SSFF). Update posted November 15 (October 19) 2000.
Riccardo Parese. Inspite of the dotcom and the Italian name, this is a German furrier, and the size of their showroom makes it look very enticing. A dozen of pictures of their collection (apparently mink and other brown fur oriented). New entry December 9 (May 8) 1999 (Fur Marvin / NTC).
Parmentier Van Meulebeke, Belgium. Three Winter collections of fur and a Spring collection. Slick site design, nice, commonsensical collection. New entry April 7 2001 (August 11 2000).
Parnavela Fotini, Greece, Kastoria. Front door page on Kastoria Net Furs, several small pictures. I don't think these people do retail, but they're not clear about it. You've got to bring your own pelts at any rate. New entry October 27 (4) 2000 (Elli/SSFF) , update posted January 21 2002 (May 24 2001).
Paustian Pelze, Kiel. A German site, still `under construction-ish': two pictures of fur wearing mannequins (nothing wrong with that) and two missing pictures links, and a look at their shop interior (nothing wrong with that either). New entry 27 March 1999, update posted February 8 2000 (October 4 1999).
Il Pavone. In spite of the Italian name, a Greek site. Some nice coats and nice pictures here, if you go through the pages. New entry January 26 2000 (November 17 1999).
Peking Fur Factory. Fur and lots of leather in fact. Also known as the Giorgio Collection. Russian, English and (partly) Chinese. New entry July 15 1999.
Pelle su pelle, Barletta (BA), Italy. A one page front door site, one picture. New July 26 1998, update posted September 9 (July 5) 1999.
Pelsland, Brussels/Antwerp, Belgium. The first online furrier in Belgium and in the fur-starved Low Countries in general. Dutch language. Clear, functional design. The update has turned this into a very pleasant site with clear, stylish (think Grosvenor) pictures showing modern furs. New entry 12 October 2000. (Serge), update posted January 21 (18) 2002.
Peninsula Furs, Sterling, Alaska (?), USA. Several pages with pictures that give you an idea of Peninsula's stock. It has a DIY feel about it, but I like it. Real people here, no web agents or virtual personae, what a relief ... A minus: body text done as graphic. (Sight or hearing impaired people are likely to buy fur too, I guess, but this locks them out.) Update posted September 9 (July 17), 1999, new pictures.
Pellicceria Pizetti Luigi Giulio. Front door site on a fur directory, but one picture. New entry May 5 1999 (November 1 1998).
Atelier Henry Phillip, Norway. A front door site, with one stylish picture. New entry December 9 (October 12) 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Pelliceria Piccinini, Italy, Pontecurone. Some work on the design needed, and a handful of vague, smallish pictures of mostly big fluffy coats. A missed opportunity. New June 27 2000 (December 8 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
P.K.Z. Furs, from Castoria, Greece. PKZ has a new address which is much more interesting than the still existing older one on Kastoria.net - have a look at the collection. New entry November 15 (10) 1999, update posted June 22 (February 23) 2000. The '98-'99 collection? Anyway, have a look ...
Pelzhaus Plappert. A furrier from Mannheim and Hockenheim, Germany. A handful of appetizing pictures (under 'Trends' and 'Unsere Mode') Worth a look. New entry January 31 2000 (December 1 1999). (Michael)
Powder River Traders. A site from Wyoming, with a matching style. The coats look good (go for 'Goods') but have matching price. New entry February 4 2000 (December 20 1999) (Chris / SSFF).
Prime Furs, USA (meanwhile, somewhere in North Michigan ...). A collection ranging from coats and accesories to blankets and fur 'dreamcatchers' (possibly the unlikely kind of New Age thing that will never catch on in California). New entry November 30 (14) 2000. (DP)

Quality Furs. Honest, you're going to love this one. A site with all sorts of everything. You got to like their collections of fur though; and they keep the old ones online. You give your Email to have a good look at the latest collection, but that's free, and fair enough if they also send you the catalogue. (Not sure if they do.) Minor minus: they have background music; even annoying when you don't have your own music playing already. New entry October 1 (September 17) 1999, update posted January 23 2002 (December 31 2001). (Elli) 'For the arty types' Elli says.

Ramello Pellicce, Italy. Design in the Italian tradition, but unfortunately much of the site has been done in Flash, so bring your microscope. If you come for the pictures, they're stylish, romantic and also available in (just as small, but more focused) jpegs. It's fun, but it could have been so much better. New November 30 (October 24) 2000, update posted January 26 2002 (September 14 2001).
The Red Book. Hey, I know this is not just a furrier, but I have to put it somewhere. Lots of ideas, ambition, errors - and some nice pictures here; while the site seems full of errors, it's also full of overcoming them. The product range consists of blankets so far - nothing wrong with that, of course. One look at the furrier listings won't just show that they're outdated (nothing new here for regular readers of the Red Book), but also breathtakingly inaccurate. I mean, getting an address wrong can happen to all of us, but confusing entire countries ... But I wish the Red Book all the best. New entry January 26 2002.
Pelz Reinold, Germany, Memmingen. A basic site with a few small pictures - you get a rather tame impression of the collection, is it that's summer or are they into low-profile furs? New entry August 26 (June 12) 2001. (Jaco)
Reiss Fashions. Fashion company, slick looking site but with animation plug-ins. In spite of this just one interesting picture. New entry March 21 2000 (December 22 1999). (Lynx SSFF)

Au Renard bleu. French furrier, French only site; some interesting pictures with nice content. New October 26 1999, update posted January 18 2001 (October 14 2000) (sta SSFF, Serge).

Revillon Co. (2) Two pictures and little else in a fashion directory. We are still waiting for the definitive, giant humongous killer site for the fur brand that started it all (not counting Paleolithic cavemen). New March 20 2000 (August 18 1998). (Lynx SSFF)

Richmond Hill furs. A page in a Toronto shop directory, uninteresting unless you live in Toronto. New entry May 4 1998.

Rieger Pelze, München, Germany. Wonderful pictures and modern design. A real appetizer for this business; if only you could see all their pictures properly! New entry November 15 (September 23) 1999. (Lynx NTC), update posted October 27 (September 19) 2000. At least as good as the previous edition and so recognizable I knew there was an update when I saw one of their (unnamed!) pictures.

Rika's, USA, Big Delta State Historical Park (Alaska). Still for a large part under construction. The part of the stock that's online can be ordered, and there are some furs for men. New entry March 18 2000. (Lynx SSFF)

Pellicceria Rindi, Italy. A handful of interesting catwalk pictures from the '96 collection, but apart from that not much else. New entry September 9 1999 (August 26 1997). A former Lynx link.

Peletería Del Rio. A front door page, but at least you get an idea of what their shop and the goods look like. New entry October 9 1998.

Ritz Furs. Still under construction. I'm not sure if the falling leaves are a good idea, as there has been some trouble caused by them reported. New entry October 12 (September 29) 2000. (Elli)

Furs by Robert. Presumably not the same as Roberts Furs (see below), although both sides are a bit vague about their RL address. Furs by Robert sells online, and (nice) pictures and price quotes of some of their coats are given on this carefully designed site. New entry October 20 (8) 1999, update posted November 30 (August 30) 2000. (Elli)

Roberts Furs. Slow site, some pictures, and text-as-graphics (bad idea). If this is a San Francisco firm (it's amazing what people forget to tell on their websites) and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm informed the firm has closed down, but so far the - very small - website is still available. (New November 25 1997.) (mm)

Romagna Furs come from San Marino, in case you wondered about the top domain ".sm". A small site with professional design and stylish pictures. Definitely one of mink lovers. New entry November 30 (June 21) 2000 (sta_uk)

Rosenberg-Lehnhart. Not much to see, not much to read, even if it's in two languages (German and English) with differing content (you'll find the list of trade fairs on the German side rather more useful). New entry November 9 (2) 1999 (FML), update posted December 9 1999 (some pictures). (Michael).

Georges Roy, Canada, Vieux-Lévis. Intriguing little gallery. New June 27 (March 27) 2000. (Chris SSFF)

Rucon by Anna Pucci. Mostly leather and shearling, but some nice furry trims too. Slick design. At first I was alarmed by their announcement that they had a woman skin collection, but the women are suppose to wear them, not grow them. (Of course, the PETA suggestion of a farm of fur-bearing women would be utterly repulsive and politically incorrect, and you haven't heard that one here, right?) New entry November 9 (August 4) 1999, update posted May 29 2001 (November 24 2000). (Serge)

Russian Fur, Moscow. A Russian furrier. Nice design. (New April 24 1998.)

Sakis, Sweden. A dozen of nice but not too big pictures with an exact description of the kind of fur. Most info in Swedish. New entry May 12 (February 26) 1998.
Samantha, Germany. The best and - to use that dreadful word for just this once - sexiest gallery of Mongolian lamb of any online furrier. And the return of the muff, in the chinchilla and fox galleries, all in great colours; the latter gallery would make my day all by itself. Have a look at the 'Stoff' section too, more fur collars and muffs here. New entry March 18 (February 19) 2000 (Lynx SSFF), update posted January 18 2001 (April 3 2000), a breathtaking video. (Breathtaking if you have sufficient bandwidth. How about downloadable videos?)
Santagostino Modelli. Italy, Milan. Under construction, but should that be an excuse for a terrible colour scheme, haphazard graphics and total absence of design? The catalog consist of 50s style fashion drawings - interesting perhaps if you've been to fashion academy, but they're not very alluring to the average customer. Italians can do better - Forza Santagostino! New entry March 21 (5) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
De Santis. An Italian site, some nice furs, great design. New entry May 14 1998, update posted May 29 (April 22) 2001. (Serge)
Scaglini. Leather and furs, three pictures and a bit of text, but hey, it's bilingual! (English, Italian.) New entry August 29 1998.
Von Schachtmeyer, Bad Oldesloe, Germany. A small site with a number of stylish pictures. The furs is restricted to trims and linings mostly. Update posted April 6 2001 (December 20 2000).
Schrader Mode fur and leather. The fur pictures - nice ones - are under 'produkte'; mouton and lamb lovers go to 'Pelzvelours'. If you understand German, they have a nice "Presse" section. New entry September 11 1998, update posted May 29 (April 21) 2001.
Pelzatelier Schulz, Wiesbaden. A front door site. New entry March 27 1999.
Scially Furs. A few small pictures, front end site.
Luisia Semenzato, Venice, Italy. A front door site if I ever saw one: a handful of pictures of their shop windows, including their, er, front door. Gives you a nice idea of their shop, and one more reason to visit the Serenissima. New entry September 16 1999.
Seolim Ltd (1) A Korean page that shows that can't really make a bad picture of a wonderful coat, and it tells you what particular kind of coat it is too. Small but nice. New entry October 9 1998
Seolim Ltd (2) Small page, from the same firm as the above. New entry May 29 2001 (STA)
Severyn Fur Salon (1). A typical `one page page' address, a few small pictures, and trying to lure is with their 'All New 1998 Collection!' Yeah, right. Not to be confused with `Sevarin' of VIF.
Severyn Fur Salon (2). Small site with large, attractive pictures of the merchandise. Oddly, to make sure you can read their labels, they turned the pictures 90 degrees clockwise. New entry February 29 (14) 2000 (Lynx), update posted May 29 (April 24) 2001 (furiend).
Sheepskin by Susan Bradford. The best here is a Tibetan lamb coat, but many coats have so little hair on them you'd suspect sheep to be some kind of reptile. Apart from that there is nothing wrong with the design here. New entry May 5 1999.
Leder und Pelz SFP. A furrier in Bebra, Germany. Also leather. Apart from the picture on the welcome page a text-only website, but I guess a lot of work went in creating the menu. New entry January 31 2000 (December 5 1999), update December 21 1999. (Michael)
Sikora, Germany, Bonn. A collection which could be interesting to a younger clientele, and I think the reversible skirt is a nice idea. New entry August 24 2001. (Jaco)
Silverfox, Empoli (FI). An Italian furrier - just furry collars and cuffs here, in anything but silverfox. Let's hope this is just their summer collection. New entry June 14 1998 (December 30, 1996).
Sinclair. An Italian shop, (`furrier' would be too much here), mostly leather but some furry bits and sheepskin. New entry August 13 1998, updated August 24 1999.
Skrivanou Furs. Great site, sometimes hard to access. Nice pictures, nice furs. New entry May 29 (February 5), 2001. (SMEPT)
Otmar Sldaky, Austria, Perchtolsdorf. One page site, two pictures. New March 18 2000 (Lynx)
Sooin Trading Co. A Korean furrier, front door page with two pictures. New entry July 16 1999.
Sorce - Ponte Vecchio. Italy, Empoli (FI). A gallery with fur-collar and -cuff coats. Nice design. New entry March 20 2000 (June 18 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Pelz-Atelier Spangenberg, Germany, Frankfurt am Main. One large page, but several, nice stylish pictures show the ideas of this furrier in the capital of European big bucks and that terrible Sorry-Fur-Pros-Only-Event. New entry March 18 2000 (1999). (Lynx)
Pellicceria Stanga, Italy, Cremona. Small galleria with a handful of pictures, black and white. New entry March 18 2000 (1999). (Lynx SSFF)
State Fur Salon. Now selling online via www.furshopping.com (q.v.). You'll possibly know that collection, beautiful as it is, and apparently the State Fur Salon wants to hide its very nice own collection; when I tried to enter it , I got an error message, so you'll have to fill in the pictures addresses manually. Add "/Furs/01.jpg", "/Furs/02.jpg" etc. to the State Fur Salon site address. New entry March 14 1999, update posted December 12 (3) 2000. (SMEPT).
Staten Island Furrier. This is a page on a web directory, but some (not all) of the pictures are so nice it almost looks like a normal site. New entry May 7 1999.
Stroudsburg Fur and Leather. Skins and coats. A series of very vague, grainy pictures in The Fur Traders Collection - the kind that takes just as much bandwidth as the good ones of the same size. Even so the coats look interesting, especially if you're interested in the macho/trapper type of fur. New entry July 15 1999, update posted January 31 2000 (October 11 1999).
Sugimoto Leopard Furs. A rare link to a rare fur. As much as I admire the beauty of this fur, I have some mixed emotions about it. It may be that this shop is allowed to sell leopard fur (in the same way that the Japanese and the Norwegians `allow' themselves to wipe out whales?), but don't you dream of taking it through US or European Customs. Dead animals are protected too. New entry November 15 1999 (May 19 1998) (Lynx NTC).
Sunrise, Bayshore. Furrier and wholesale company in an English speaking part of the world. Frontdoor page with a few small pictures. New entry February 18 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Mano Swartz. Back from the gloomy depths of our 'offline' page. A smallish site, but very smooth design and a few pretty pictures. Nice drawings too. Back online and update posted August 24 (July 20), 1999.

Tianjin Able. A Chinese clothing company, which also sells furs. There are three small but interesting pictures. New entry January 12 1999.
Tiffany Furs. Some known pictures from elsewhere and a few nice ones I did not know, and some useful information: fur terminology, fur types, fur tips. New entry May 7 1999.
Pelzmoden Tenten, Krefeld. A front door site but with a nice picture ... follow that car! New entry March 27 1999.
This site might be a demo/dummy site, as it is on one domain with the Wüstenberg business (q.v.).
Ben Thylan Furs. USA, New York. 24th floor ... talk about a furrier with a high treshold! There's nothing really wrong with this site, but to be transported to heavenly delights by this furrier, we have to take his elevator, not his website: fashion sketches. New entry March 20 (February 10) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)
Fourrures Tollet. A site on the Paris yellow pages, but well worth a look. New entry March 23 (January 6) 2000, update posted December 2 (October 10) 2000.
Pellicceria La Torre, two pictures, one of which is only accessible through a tiny thumbnail at the bottom of the page.
Toschi Pellicce, Italy, Bastia di Rovolon. Sadly the largest picture you'll see on this sight is the rather un-furry picture up front. This furrier must be still in the camera-shy I'm-a-furrier-but-I-really-don't-do-much-fur-you-know phase, that filled so many salons with unassuming leather and lammy stuff. Design is o.k., but hey, these are Italians. I love the throws, or the spread, or the blankets ... now, where is my magnifying glass? New entry March 18 2000. (Lynx)
Transfurmation. `Creations from recycled fur'. That is: FURnishing mostly, not a lover that is magically changed into a big fur coat. And: you can buy fur and help fight breast cancer as well. There's also an article about Transfurmation on furs.com. New May 29, 1999. Update posted October 20 (1) 2000, `Gifts', a very small update.
Tsevis Furs, Scarsdale, USA. Frontdoor page. New entry November 11 1999.
Tsoukas Brothers, Greece Kastoria. It took some time before all the animated gifs were in place, but then the site was moving like rush hour traffic. Small catalog and a panorama of the showroom, which looks a little bit too low on stock to be the `Capital City of Fur in Europa' but perhaps they're going to post some more, or they should make it fully 360 degrees. The catalog is still small (and mink- focused) but there is a detailed account of the Tsoukas production process - it must look like 'Return of the Living Dead to the Nightmare of Friday 13th Street' to AR activists but well, I thought it interesting. Thanks for the invitation to Frankfurt 1999 by the way. If I'd only known ... New entry March 20 2000 (July 1 1999). (Lynx SSFF)
Tu Piel, Argentina, Mar del Plata. This page is in its early days and could do with some improvement - tighter design and improved pictures, which look rather haphazard (if not taken from elsewhere). New entry March 11 (10) 2000. (Elli)
Pelzhaus Türpitz, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Page in business directory, one picture. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC).
Nicolaus Tzorias, Macedonia? If you like very dark, bristly looking furs, this is definitely your place. If not, keep wondering if a blindingly white fluffy fox woudn't fit in better with the Grecian colour palet and skin tone. Perhaps they just do exports. Design-wise, this site has some good ideas, but somehow it could do with a firm hand here and there. This is the first furrier site I see with its own message board, but it's not really taking off yet. New entry March 18 2000 (Lynx)

Uptodate Furs. Fur storage and cleaning in Poughkeepsie, USA. Frontdoor page, no pictures. New entry November 11 (January 4) 1999.
USA Fox and Furs. Currently a mix of old and new, mostly thumbnail- sized pictures. Under (re)construction. Updated November 11 1999. (Elli)

Valek, Austria, Vienna. `Promising', says Chris. I agree; if they had handled all the pictures right, I had gladly given a !!!-marking. In this state some pictures are not up to scratch when it comes to online sales. All good things come to those who wait? The furs deserve it. New entry December 2 2000. (Chris)
Vana, Austria, Matzen. A small site with a few nice pictures. New entry August 23 2001 (STA)
Varnis Furs, Castoria, Greece. Front door site, one nice picture. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC).

Versatile Ajamian. Modern fur in youthful design, and site in matching style. New March 20 (14) 2000. (Lynx SSFF)

AB Vilkas, Lithuania. Page in a business directory, small pictures. New entry September 11 2001 (April 18 2000).

Vintage Pellicca Shearling. Front door page with three pictures. New entry January 26 2002.

Viscovic Furs, former Yugoslavia (?). I didn't know any link from this region so far, but this is a very good start. No spectular design, but many big, clear pictures, stressing the sensuous quality of fur. Now, if only they'd tell us where we can find their shop ... New entry August 23 (February 2) 2001. (Hack__Jack)

Vladimir & Ludmila, Russia, Moscow. A lot of effort goes in the design of their furs, but they have a shop and a showroom. The site is large, with pictures and nice, unorthodox furs popping up everywhere, so have a thorough browse if you didn't do that already. And it's all bilingual too! Minus: The pictures are put in on the page in two halves (save one and you'll understand what I mean). Still, it might be the best Russian furrier site. New entry August 26 2001. (Elli)

V & O Furs, (USA ?). Small but nice - lovely coats. New entry October 20 (15) 2000. (Elli / SSFF)

Vogue Furriers. Furrier on Newfoundland. Two pages with pictures of the shop interior and the collection. New May/June 1997.

Vollbracht Furs by Mark, USA, Fairlawn. Liquidation sale, so hurry, if you're intrested. Some nice furs. New entry August 23 2001. (Chris)

The Louis Vuitton Dealer. Vintage Furs, from Louis Vuitton and others. Two caveats: old furs aren't up to heavy duty, and some of the wares can't be imported in countries outside the USA. New entry January 26 2000 (FK).

Bruno Voss & Co., Hamburg, Germany. Nice furs, smallish pictures and large site. New entry May 29 (16) 2001. (MyFurLady)

Wagner, Neustadt. A German front door site, a few small pictures. New entry March 27 1999, update posted January 31 2000 (June 1 1999) but just leather jackets.
Wainer Pellicce, Italy, Saccalongo (PD). This site is still largely a `work in progress' but have a look anyway. The pictures are too small, but could be awe-inspiring if their number, sharpness and size were trebled. (Hint for the Wainer people, if they're reading this). New entry March 18 2000. (Lynx)
Weinstein, Vienna, Austria. One page site in a online business directory. Nice picture. New August 30 1999.
Westmall. I include this one with some hesitation, form this is an online `mall' with two shops that sell sheepskin, lammy and sheerling coats. If you're not too critical you might find some furry trims here. Of course, if you happen to like sheerlings or lammy it's different. New entry May 5 1999.
Western Canadian Chinchilla. I don't know if this is a shop or if these people are just very enthusiastic about chinchilla. The pictures are like chinchillas themselves: small but nice to look at. Back on new address May 4 1998.
Whistler Spirit Designs, Canada, Vancouver. Nice prices, nice furs in various styles, and a joy to look at. Also sells through Ebay (wsdfurs). New entry August 24 2001, update posted January 25 (17) 2002.
William Furs, Nevada, USA. Some nice pictures here, a friendly site by friendly people. :-) New entry November 9 (October 23) 1999 (Lynx / NTC), update posted November (October 25) 2000 (smept), one new picture under `Products'; more, more!
Jerome Wolk jr. Furs, Pittsburgh, USA. A front door site, or web ad. One picture, but nice. New entry October 13 1999.
Pelzmoden Wüstenberg, a front door site with one picture, or so it seems ... See below. New entry March 27 1999.
The German text at the bottom end of the page says: "This is not an ad. No Company Logos or trademarks were used. The picture is just for demonstration purposes only." (Dies ist keine Werbung. Firmen- und Markenzeichen wurden nicht verwendet. Das Bild dient lediglich zu Demonstrationszwecken.) But how about Pelzmoden Tenten? And Bisegger? Three furriers in one street in poor little Krefeld does seem a bit much, but are they all phoney? Somebody near Krefeld, or with access to the Krefeld telephone directory, help me out please.

York Furrier. Since it started as a front door site with a few nice pictures, this page has been seriously updated. Modern design, and attractive pictures, in online catalogue New entry May 7 1999. Update posted January 22 2002 (November 11 2001). (Jes)
Yudofsky Furriers. USA, Louisville (KY). A site that gives a small sample of the stock - mink, beaver, shearling and a sable. New entry October 27 2000 (December 6 1999).

Zaffalon Pellicceria, Italy, Venice. Italy, Venice. A front door page, with one 'prodotti' page. The tacky background MIDI music is a major design mistake: by the time it restarts for the fourth time you're well inclined to reach for a spray can or an axe.

Zikos Pelze, Austria, Vienna. A furrier on with a nice collection of coats, shown on the show in their own shop on the very Graben itself. New entry December 12 (October 2) 2000. (SMEPT)
Pels und Leder Albert Zirn, Zürich, Switzerland. Updating of furs coats, storage. Two pictures, some none too spectacular drawings. New entry November 15 1999 (Lynx NTC), update posted December 2 (October 27 2000), but nothing much to see.
Zugaroni, Italy, Magione. A handful of pictures; the design work has gone to the furs, not much to the site, but it's efficient nevertheless. New entry August 14 (June 13) 2000 (Lynx SSFF), update posted January 26 (7) 2002.
